Poets and God Chaucer, Shakespeare, Herbert, Milton, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake

Reveals the relevance of six poets to the current quest for an authentic spirituality and will excite the reader to rediscover and enjoy their work. The great English poets are at the centre of a cultural heritage which goes along with the world-wide spread of the English language, yet they are now more often the object of study than of pleasure. Scholarly, entertaining and often provocative, Poets and God reveals their relevance to the current quest for an authentic spirituality in a mostly church-less society, and will excite the reader to rediscover and enjoy their work.
